We moved into a new area 3 weeks ago. I have a young 12 year old daughter who is as cute and friendly as can be. She has a 16 year old boy who wants to be her boyfriend. My daughter has told him numerous times that she is not interested in have any boyfriend. This guy says hateful things when he is rejected and my daughter cries. She wants nothing to do with him. He calls and stalks her. What should I do? This is scaring both of us. What does a 16 year old want with a 12 year old anyway?
Where does she see this boy? Is he a neighbor? I would definitely try to talk to the parents if he lives nearby.
How did he get your phone number to call her? Can you block his number?
What is he saying when he calls? Does he know she is 12? Is it possible that he is socially clueless rather than stalking?
You post raises more questions, but you have had some advice. Have you done anything yet? If so, what and what results have you seen?

There are two sides to every story.
1) Why does he have her phone number
2) Did you hear him say threatening things to him? Or is this something she tells you?
3) They had to have met at some point and talked. I highly doubt she was playing hop scotch and he walked up to her and said "be my girlfriend"
4) Stalking is a very very strong word.
To answer the people who keep asking about their phone number, they may have a neighborhood directory like we do. People can opt out of the directory, but most people are in there. I've gotten calls from neighbors I haven't met about an open garage, weird kids hanging around, etc. I have almost all my neighbors' phone numbers. So it could be that.

I've never heard of that, is that an HOA type community thing?

In addition to the regular 'phone book for an area, which is public information listed by name ...
Many locales have an "address" based phone book, which lists the phone numbers by sequential street address, not by name of the resident. Frequently available in your local public library reference resource department.
With the information available on the web today, it doesn't take a lot of knowledge to do a web search for an address or phone number by name, either. We live in an information age where it's all readily accessible ....

It could, but they just moved to their area three weeks ago, so unless the directory has been updated in the past 3 wks, that's not how the guy got the phone #.

That's true--I forgot about that. But there's still Anywho and similar sites.
